Bottom line
- Cal-ICOR says it does not keep personally identifiable information about its partners or users. Its staff have access to each partner’s hub for maintenance.
- When a partnership ends, Cal-ICOR deletes all user data, accounts and cloud infrastructure within 30 days. The institution can ask for a transfer to a new partner or cloud provider first.
